For some characters it would make more sense for them to have little to no clothing like Erika being a naturist for example. Maybe keep accessories like hats or capes to keep their identities, but still remove as much clothing possible including shoes? For some that wear boots they can be made exceptions since it's for protection, but the ones that can be casually nude they should be barefoot even if they have a hat or cape right?

Capes covers too much, which goes against the point of a nude mod and I don't believe safety and RL logic is the point here, not wearing anything is.

In all honesty, I don't think the "keep their identity" argument makes any sense whatsoever

I don't think that people will not recognize a character naked - Pokemon major characters look distinct enough from Pokemon NPCs even if naked

I think keeping the characters' items of clothing kinda undermines the purpose of the nude mod - it's a nude mod, not an "underdressed mod"

Okay I think I went a little overboard last night. I was just paranoid.

Not everyone should be fully naked. Accessories really help.

Thorton going without his phone makes no sense for his pose, and the youngster and camper not having hats really make it hard to tell the difference if you don't already know their hair color.

So, I propose that sprites should be edited on a case by case basis. Not all accessories should be gotten rid of.

Take the swimmers, for example. While the girl is fully naked, the boy still has the swimming cap. It adds a lot to his character and shouldn't be removed.

It would honestly be hard to fully remove it. Head coverings are extremely important to still keep, over any other accessory, as well as items stored in the hand.

Pokeballs, canes, bags, and the like aren't clothes, so they shouldn't be removed. The people need those to do their everyday activities.

Even in the Beauty, while we got rid of her shoes, her bag is still kept. It just makes sense for her to have something to store her pokeballs in.

I really underestimated the importance of bags when starting this project. That was my mistake.

 

I honestly kinda like this take on the Pokemaniac. The tail is an important part of the silhouette and getting rid of it makes him look a little strange.

Plus, he's doing a cosplay. It makes sense that he'd complete the look, even if he's usually naked.

I think that, like @Morgil said, we'll need a poll to decide what to do with him and Erika.

Kimono girl is okay. I just over-corrected.

This is a collaborative project. We need insight from the community.

I will admit the pokemaniac was an odd choice from me, but then again so is the pokemaniac, its kinda in his name. At the time I wasn't sure what kind of edit I could make to him that would make sense and still be recognizable. Now what we could just do is have it edited to only have the feet of the costume but then we lose the tail as well which helps complete his silhouette, but how do y'all feel? The legs might look rough but keep in mind, I have literally NO fucking reference to what they look like

However still, the pokemaniac, without any of his suit, is just another naked dude, nothing that identifies him as his trainer class, he's not a "pokemaniac" just a "maniac", if that.

 

I understand the sentiment of wanting to remove all clothing & accessories, it doesn't make for good (or easy) game design.

(And if we want to remove accessories, Gen 5 sprites are going to fuckin suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck)

At the end of the day though, it's not my project, I'm just a spriter. I will say though, the sudden and massive influx of sprite edits (probably close to all of the human sprites in the game) ranging from small to drastic edits would be very overwhelming for me and probably most spriters.

I agree with you that the influx of edits has been overwhelming, for you spriters and for me.

But I'm really happy you all are contributing to the project. It means the world to me that my little project has so much support.

It just gets a little stressful having to manage which sprites to keep as is and which to edit, which is why I got a little paranoid last night.

And the question of how many accessories should be kept and how many should be removed (especially in regards to shoes) has been a longstanding question on this project and of Platinude.

Everyone has different likes and opinions on how this project should go. I want to try and please everyone.

I'm sorry. I'll try not to let it happen again.

 

 On another note, I like Zorai's take on the topic.

I think this idea is what I want to push forward with.

I think the better option is keeping the hat and cane for Blaine, as wells as his glasses. Same with Pryce and his scarf and cane. And I still think the Pokemaniac should just be shirtless. I think its nicer to imagine he's naked under the suit, rather then seeing it first hand. Same with the officer and his hat and belt.

 

Saying this as someone who is a nudist and sees the body as more then just a sex object, nudity isn't just having nothing at all. Its more so the feeling of being free with nothing to constrict you. To feel comfortable and truly be ourselves. There's many who do wear shoes, as well as small things that aren't constricting, which a hat and scarf would indeed be things that don't really bother us. Same with a belt.

In short, its mainly pants and shirts that are mainly problematic, not so much accessories. Even if I got the chance to live in a nice community where its accepted, I'd still have shoes to protect my feet, and a fanny pack for holding things when going out and about.

 

Just my input on the matter anyway. I love what all has been done so far but I do agree with keeping some semblance of identity and the like. Either which way, I'm happy just to see this whole thing coming along.

 

The thing is that I want RL logic to be the point. One of the main reasons I made this project cover all genders is for real nudists to feel represented.

I'm just imperfect and make mistakes sometimes.

(Also, please do not use "females" like that in my presence. It's just one of my icks)

I agree that the character designs are distinct enough to be fairly recognizable even nude. But I think some clothes can be kept in the context of either protection, like the hiker's boots protecting his feet from the rough, rocky ground of the mountains they are usually encountered on, or things like backpacks, because where are you supposed to store things without one? 

 

Some items would still make sense to use even in a world where nudism is just part of society worldwide, unless we're arguing that ,in this rom hack/mod's universe, humanity has absolutely no need for anything clothing might possibly provide like protecting one's feet from rough terrain or storage for items or gear. In short, I think some articles of clothing could (and should) stay, like backpacks and boots for hikers at least.

I honestly forgot I read Zorai's post yesterday and came with the same take, which i find somewhat comedic.

 

I am not a nudist but I DO spend most of my time bare foot when I can, and I still put at least my crocs on when I go outside to mow the lawn or get the mail from my PO box because while walking on my yard's nice and fairly soft ground and the grass feels nice to walk on... asphalt and concrete don't, not to mention the possibility of there being broken glass around the house or on roads, though i obviously try to just avoid walking on that if possible.

Yeah I expected this critism. It does get hard to distinguish between characters without their defining accessories or garments, so people tend to leave some of these.
I say this to myself when I draw them nude, "If the character looks like entirely different person without their defining wardrobes, how does that 'entirely different person' look? Can you still love them like that?" and try imagining how would they look like fully natural.

Of course I don't tell this to others to enforce my preference, I gave you sprites both with and without minor clothes for reason, I just like doing my own thing.

 

I'm seeing an "if a character should ditch this away" argument out here, and well, my opinion didn't change since I said this.

 

Au naturel-ists don't eat good out here, I once saw a tag "absolutely nothing on" in certain green site establishing a nudity that's without any clothing items including hair ornaments on, but the good chunk of the images with that tag featured, well, hair ornaments.

Similar tale goes to Pixiv tags' relationship between 裸(naked), 全裸(completely naked), 生まれたままの姿(産まれたままの姿)全裸(ヌード)(birthday suit), and 完全裸(absolutely naked). People just don't think the same...

 

 

Of all the contributors of this project so far, it appears that I was the only one that fulfilled such needs. Too bad that I don't have such free time to draw more.

I suppose it's about the bits you said when you brought up the soles.

Anyways, yeah, "Training up" soles on your feet isn't easy. When I stumbled upon a Discord conversation with barefeet enthusiast, they mentioned the Seris and some barefooter's blog posts with a topic of toughening up the feet for rougher terrains and a few.
https://ahcuah.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/the-seri-boot/
https://ahcuah.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/baking-a-seri-boot/

https://ahcuah.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/saving-soles/

 

To quote some of the messages they said in conversation...

 

Quote

Blisters only occur, when one isn't used to going barefoot. One goes barefoot till the feet start to feel sour. And if isn't overdone the feet will grow stronger and can even last even more. One of the strongest feet one can attain is repeated exposure to hot sands for example.

 

This can be connected into "Hikers climb a mountain well because they have trained their feet" or something in the lore, if you may justify.

But with what you have been bringing up throughout my each batches of submissions, you seems to not like this idea. That's fine, not everyones' preferences are the same.

Edited September 7, 2025 by Noillus

Doesn't help that I personally cant go barefoot due to medical reasons.

But its not just about major characters, and even then, Whitney with her hair down, Nurse Joy with her hair down, and DJ Mary with her hair down are all going to look pretty goddamn simiilar. From a player perspetive and a game design perspective, being able to tell basic trainer classes apart is vital to how you play the game. 

I know someone said OW sprites aren't vital, but why would the OW sprites keep their hats but the battle sprites don't? Why even edit the OW sprites at all if they aren't vital?

Viewier and I have both tired to emphasize consistancy between sprites

What the hell are Clair and Lance going to be holding on to in these two sprites, the point of these two in the animation being literally to flip up their capes? Look at how much of Clair's body were gonna just have to wing with no reference. 
The only characters who have capes are the dragon tamers (generic, Clair, and Lance), which I think is a good trainer type identification, and in Clair and Lance's case really helps identify their personality. Clair is younger, less experienced, and so she hides behind her cape more, but Lance is the Champion, and faces you head on and comes in (literally) swinging.

I know hairpins, hats, and hairties may seem like small edits but look at Clair above. We have no idea what all that hair would look like down. Both Viewier and I have also tried to stray away from just making stuff up as much as possible. Like what the hell does the top of Proton's head look like?

Maybe I'm lazy, but the thought of having to retroactively edit almost every sprite in the game to some degree (whether to remove hats, shoes, change their hair, or something else), seems really daunting and excruciating

As this thread has shown, plenty of actual nudists have different views, ideas, and rules for how they see mudity; so why shouldn't the characters in game?

Absolutely, it also helps diversity and shows its not just a "hivemind nudist world", and some still have some semblance of identity. I quite like the caps on those two sprites and we can still see that they're nude.

There is a difference between naturist and nudism. And I tend to prefer a mix of the two.

Yeah, this is a reason why many of us still wear some form of footwear. If the ground was always soft and had no potential for damage (Glass, burns, cuts, bugs, etc) then we wouldn't really wear them. Sandals are great for casual wear and boots/shoes for out and about.

Yay! Cookie! I like cookies. Thank you.

 

I think that Case by Case is what I want to stick with. It just makes things easier.

As personmcguy said, making everyone fully nude and getting rid of all their accessories will add a boatload of extra work and some overworld sprites will look very similar, since there's no way we'd not change them to match the battle sprites.

There are arguments for both the side of barefoot and the side of shoes. Case by Case lets us have some be barefoot and some not.

I really love how personmcguy worded their last sentence. Everyone's different, and we shouldn't put them all in the same box.

To give my opinion on it, I think if the character has boots or sandals, leave them. But just basic shoes? Remove them. Since the boots are usually unique and aren't worn unless its fashion or for something else. And sandals aren't really an issue in of itself, unless they wanna feel the ground beneath their feet.

But normal shoes don't really serve much of a purpose.

I think you did great with what they gave you! I like the back,

Also, I have a question.

I was considering making the backgrounds of non-overworld sprites for characters that have already been edited pink.

Like, I'd make Ariana's VS face pink despite it not being edited at all.

Would that be helpful for you, or should I keep them green until they get edits?

Honestly yeah! When I start a character I like to do all of their sprites (like Ethan or Sabrina) , but when I make edits of existing sprites or someone else's template, I don't always do all related sprites (like Koga or Bugsy)

Here's the list from what I know

• Bugsy has his Battle sprites done but not his Portrait or OW
• Chuck's portrait is done (because it needed no work to begin with), so his Front and OW sprites need to be done
• Jasmine's Portrait needs to be done
• Koga's Portrait and OW need to be done
• Bruno's OW sprites need need to be done
• Surge's Front and OW sprites need to be done
• Erika's OW sprites need to be done
• Ariana has her OW, Portrait, and Intro that need to be done
• and Silver just has his Intro sprites that need to be done

I will also say again, I'm ok with someone else doing the portrait for a character I did the battle sprites for and whatnot.

 

And Lyra is a different beast entirely that I'm not sure if I'm the guy to take care of

For the 3D models (Ethan and Lyra), I was gonna wonder if the wonderful and talented @Catnaticwould be willing to help us in that department

It's honestly a little insane that Lyra has only had two singular sprites edited of her so far.

Ethan came in update 2, and we're already approaching update 5.

Maybe it's just because she is nowhere near as popular as Dawn or Ethan/Gold.
